After accidently stealing James Potter’s invisibility cloak, breaking Dom’s ‘don’t socialise with my cousins rule’ and inadvertently causing Professor Longbottom to believe that Potter has a paralysing fear of birds (and that he screams like a girl) I decided it was time for a little more fun. And to prove that I’m not just a bystander.

Albus Potter has finally managed to grow into his own skin over the summer between his fourth and fifth years at Hogwarts. He's planning on being more confident, getting more attention from the ladies, winning the Quidditch Cup and acing his O.W.L's.

Aurelia Proudfoot returns to Hogwarts for her sixth year, only to discover that she'll have to save her best friend's desperate romance, foil the plans of a lunatic Quidditch player, and decide between the boy she's always loved and the boy who's always been there for her.

Did you ever have an imaginary friend when you were growing up? Someone to keep you company when you had no one else to play with? Someone no one else could see but they still meant the world to you? I was one of those girls. Now I'm a sixth year Gryffindor at Hogwarts. But I have a secret.

Lily hates James. James likes Lily. What made things change between them? Who else was a part of their story? What happened during those three times of defying Lord Voldemort? Who else was involved in their end?
